Configuring Gc-Msd Communications - Agilent Technologies 8860 Installation And First Startup

1 Installing the GC
Step 12 Configuring GC-MSD communications
If connected to an MSD such as 5977A or 7000C/D, use the GC touchscreen to identify the
connected MSD's IP address and to select the part information (for example, source type, and
pump type). Select the GC IP config page, and then the MSD Config tab. The MSD IP address
entered here must exactly match the IP address entered in the data system and at the MSD
keyboard.
Once the instruments have IP addresses and are connected to the LAN, complete the GC/MS
configuration and enable enhanced communications, Parts Finder data, and MS-friendly
features such as the MS Vent method as follows:
1 Select the GC IP config page, and then the MSD Config tab.
2 If configuring a 5977B MSD, select LCOMM from the dropdown menu under Connection
3 Enter details for the MSD.
